B/c it's my "one stop shopping" Any thought or question, I might have

intense and witty, the fluff amusing and entertaining. the people here
come from a wide variety of backgrounds and many are experts in their
field. IOW, the number of complete morons is low compared to the rest of

Jock-goth, drawn to anything that involves intense motion. I engage in
the "goth meodrama" from time to time all in a sort of "tongue in cheek"

ALT.GOTHIC/NET-RELATED QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: alt.gothic.fashion, and I frequently pop
into various other groups here and there for brief periods (ex:
alt.fan.paul-weller, alt.tv.snl, a bunch of others).
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your dick
question): started reading somewhere around November 97, but sporadically
untill I delurked in June 98.
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? Can't really define a type, I've
loved some fluffy posts (limeriks, anyone?) but I've also really liked some of
the more serious ones.
WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? Why do I do anything? *shrug* It gives me something
to do and (usually) there's something worth reading.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: people who insist on feeding trolls
even though they should know better. (I'm curently in rehab... though I think
I'm doing ok.) People with power trips also bother me.
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): I don't really consider
myself a "Goth's Goth". I've been in and out of the whole thing for about ten
or eleven years now thanks to my brother, and have run with various crowds
(punk, ska, scene rat) but always seem to keep coming back with some shreds of
former groups. I guess you could call me the UN of subcultures. =p
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Hobbies...? Well, I want to start painting
again.
WHAT酬 THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: I'd rather be seen for what I am, and be alone,
than be seen for what I'm not, and be lonely. (Brock Tully)
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: Tie between respect and
humor.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE POOL:
Uhhhmmmm... laziness, because then I'd actually get stuff done.
WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I can recite the alphabet backwards
in under three seconds and I can make three loops with my tongue.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Gads I hate future related
questions. The only thing I can be sure I'll want is to be happy with whatever
it is.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: I wish I were more disciplined.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: I'm incredibly two faced. ;-) No, I'd
have to say my ability to use both emotions and logic to try and work out a
situation I'm personally confronted with. The resulting outcome might not
always be easy or happy, but it's almost *always* the best.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: My lack of discipline.
WHAT酬 ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND:I don't have one. The cupboard on my headboard has a
lot of framed pictures from back home, my jewelery box, a lamp decorated with
cherubs, a Snoopy plantholder with no plant, a stuffed Luna (from Sailor Moon)
and two Rugrats beanies (Chuckie and Reptar!^%#^%#) on it though. =]
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: Yes.

also realize... that all our lives we love illusion, neatly caught between
confusion and the need to know we are alive." (Rz)

Christopher Gross
season?
'scrape started!]
__THE PHYSICAL__:
YOUR NAME: Christopher Gerard[1] Gross
YOUR ONLINE/NICKNAME: Chris; or occasionally, the Slackerdog
AGE: 30 (bleah -- I'm still not used to saying/writing that)
BIRTHDAY: 27 October 1968
GENDER: male
LOCATION: at work in Washington DC; but I now live out in Bethesda MD
CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: dark blond/light brown, in a ponytail down to the
small of my back (I'm trying to make up in size what I've lost in
quantity, you see....)
EYE COLOR: blue
RELIGION: I find religions fascinating, but you won't catch me practicing
one!
SIBLINGS: one sister, who lives in Boston and just turned 28
CHILDREN: None, unless someone is REALLY good at keeping secrets
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, and not entirely happy about it
OCCUPATION: I am <ahem> Periodicals Department Collections Services
Coordinator at a medium-sized university library. I do everything from
fixing erroneous catalog records[2] to managing work-study students[3] to
serving as departmental liaison to tech support[4]. I also do a little
freelance research on the side.
PETS: none, though I may let a cat adopt me someday
COMPUTER YOU鄗E ON: I'm at work, so it's a bland Pentium box without even
a sound card. At home it's an old Mac Centris 610 (upgraded to full 68040)
running OS 8.1. I hope to get a new, up-to-date Mac this year, and maybe
run Linux or some other Unixalike on the side.
ALT.GOTHIC/NET-RELATED QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: varies; mostly rec.arts.books,
soc.history.moderated, rec.music.industrial, alt.gothic.fashion (not that
I ever put what I learn there to use), rec.arts.sf.written
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your dick
question): since October 1995, with occasional visits as early as '94
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? Threads on any subject as long
as they either attract well-written, thoughtful posts, or are amusing
enough to keep me snarfing coffee on the keyboard. Lately I've only
joined in on historical/political debates -- that's four years of grad
school screaming to get out -- but they aren't the only ones I read.
WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? Scary or silly as this sounds, it feels like
home. (Sure, I'm mostly a lurker; but then, I'm pretty quiet in my real
home too. And I'm not always happy with alt.gothic, but that too is just
like my real home.) A lot of a.g.ers share my interests, and unlike other
groups where this is true, there's enough personal fluff and fun to make
me feel like I actually know you all, or at least the regulars.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: The trolls and attacks, of
course. Runner up: the tendency to flame first and ask questions later
bothers me sometimes, even though many of the flames make great reading.
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): Actually I don't
really consider myself a goth. I just have a lot of the same interests as
many goths, and a certain taste for darkness and mystery in life and art.
I'm on the fringes of the gothic subculture, a friend of gothdom, a
goth-symp if you will.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Now that I think about it, most of what I
call my "hobbies" are really "things that *would* be my hobbies if I had
more time and energy." Most of my scant free time is just spent reading
(mostly fiction of various genres and history), watching movies, listening
to music, and a little light geeking.
WHAT酬 THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Although I try to fight it, all too often
I wind up adhering to Homer Simpson's precept that "Trying is just the
first step to failing."
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: Being a good
conversationalist (that's not the most important thing about a person, but
it is something I appreciate a lot).
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE POOL:
Hard to choose ... intolerance, wilful ignorance, or the habit of standing
in front of the Metro doors blocking people getting off the train? Well,
one of the three.
WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I can pronounce the Czech
sound represented by an r with an upside-down caret over it, like in
Antonin Dvorak's name. Czech isn't my native language, so I guess this
counts.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: I wish I knew. Whatever
it is, I hope it involves being in a loving relationship and making enough
money that I don't have to worry about every dime I spend.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: Skill? Dancing. Thing? A G3, or else a car -- I don't much
like cars, but it's a pain living in the suburbs without one.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: Intelligence, not that that's worth
much....
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: Indecisiveness, lack of
focus, trouble following though on things -- all aspects of the same
personality flaw, whatever it would be called.
--Chris
NOTES:
[1] Yes, that's Gerard, not Gerald. It's my dad's name, and he's suffered
through 56 years of people mispronouncing it.
[2] Somewhere I read an estimate that online library catalogs have an
average of 1.4 mistakes per record. I don't know how they determined
this, but I'm willing to believe it.
[3] I'm still trying to find a way of saying "You want to get off your ass
and do a little fucking work, please?" without having it sound judgemental
[4] This means I'm the person who says "Are you sure you're logged on?
Okay then, try restarting the computer" so tech support doesn't have to.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your

question): My first post is early 97, but I wasn't reading at the

WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? I feel that I've been reading it long
enough to know the people on it. I enjoy their stories.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: Flame, flame, flame. I think
that people have forgot the original commandments of Usenet which
considered flame to be the worst form of net abuse. If I flame, I tend
to do it as gently as possible with as little invective as possible. I
seldom see an original flame. People telling other people that they
are fuckwads is sledom entertaining.

mailing list when things are dull on a.g.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: I read read read. I write a bit. I veg
on the `puter for hours on end. I like RPGs, but seldom play. I've

original divinity. Recognize that in each other.
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: Understanding of
differences. Open-mindedness. Ability to discuss many subject from
many angles.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE
POOL: Stupidity. I cannot stand people who aren't intelligent.
WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I can talk like a Gremlin.
Hey... It has gotten me laid. ;)
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: I want to be in a nice
position in the IT field, where I work just enough to support my
outide interests. Maybe someone to share it with. I son't know if I'll
be stable enough even in ten year to want someone in my life all the
time. A nice tight circle of friends.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED
YOU
POSSESSED: The ability to draw or paint.

COMPUTER I'M ON: Um, some sort of pentium PC. I'm a mac gal meself, but
it's in a box in the basement 'cause it was old and named Flloyd.
> ALT.GOTHIC/NET-RELATED QUESTIONS:
>
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO I RERAD: rec.games.trading-cards.misc 'cause I'm
a big geek and play l5r too much and 'cause I don't have time for much
else. Also rec.music.folk and red.music.celtic.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING A.G.: A very very long time. Like,
forever man. Not as long as oddly.
>
> WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? In group flame wars and
face-offs between cmu bois. Debates and discussions, politics and
theories. Not. Fluff.
>
> WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? B I can't help it. :) Force of habit, I
guess. And to keep track of people I like.... and because I want to get
into posting regularily again....
>
> WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: that it isn't really
pretentious enough anymore; that you can't get flamed off for slipping up
or for being less than exceptional. I like being kept on my feet, and
being forced to think left I die. It promotes improvement...
> > GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
>
DESCRIBE WHAT KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE: And extremely casual and/or notgoth.
I used to be gother. Now I prefer to dress folk/medeivally... I like that
angle of goth; the pretending/fantasy/out of the ordinary-ness to it,
rather than the dark and the depression.... but I like black.... it's a
good, solid colour that everything looks best in....
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES: Gaming, writng, creating games, writing comic
books, painting, cchoreographing, thinking, wishing, dreaming and converting.
>
WHAT MOTTO DO YOU ADHERE TO?: I forget. Probably "never do the same
thing twice" or maybe " your "reality" is all lies and popycock and I am
proud to say I have no grasp of it whatsoever!"
WHAT TRAIT DO YOU MOST APPRECIATE IN OTHER PEOPLE?: Open mindedness and
ambition. The drive to be better and want better and do everything. I
hate people who live for the minimum, or who are to lazy to follow their
dreams....
> WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE POOL:
Narrow mindedness. People who are unable to dream and fantasise, and
whatever makes them like that. Mundanity?
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW? Living in a castle in
some green country, with lots of kids and a big garden and a pony. I will
write good books about dreams and encourage other people to do the same.
I will be smiting the forces of the mundane with some sort of self-crafted
magical weapon.
> WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: I wish I could sing. :(
>
> WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: My optimism...
>
> WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: My laziness...
>
I also have a number of things on my nightstand, but I have to get to work....

remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's
so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your

that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps
twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."

nostalgic about the good ole days when the group was much smaller and the

> DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: I have so many, many questions. Actually
here is one -
WHAT DO I ENJOY MOST ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC THESE DAYS: It is still cycling but
recently there have been more worthwhile posts that actually *say*
something and stay with me when I walk away from the computer. Some people
have put a lot of thought and bits of themselves into what they are writing
and caring about the responses. Seeing that just proves to me that we are
not fading away into the netscape.
Many of my RL friends have been met through alt.gothic, and most of those
who are not on a.g. are on the AZgoth mailing list. It brings me pleasure
to know that a medium stereotyped as a haven for the socially inept and
occupied by dangerous outcasts is actually someplace that has brought me
happiness (and also assured me of places to stay in most cities across the
continent.)
In the same vein...it seems that the cliques are not nearly as bad as they
used to be. I do remember a time when there were iron-clad groups that were
not very accepting of newcomers. I don't see that anymore, hell we've got a
welcoming comittee now.
Oh dear. Look at this. I'm getting serious. What's come over me? I must
solve this immediately. Time to listen to the Dead Milkmen and play Tetris.

somewhere on the outer banks.
>>WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: my ability to listen to others without
passing judgement or falling asleep
>>WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU:
Complete and utter pessimism....I could really stand to give a genuine smile
from time to time...and not take things on the worst note possible.
>>WHAT酬 ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND:
Currently, an empty candlestick holder designed like a cage, a thesaurus, two
ballpoint pens, and a candydish full of condoms. (don't ask)
>>DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION:
In the scheme of the generic political system, do you place yourself in the
right wing, left wing, or moderate?

dedication to librarianship and how i really want to
change things. i have a decent amount of intelligence and
a good, sarcastic sense of humour. other people could
answer this much better than i.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: horrid, horrid
impatience, followed easily by fickle flightiness, followed
easily by the way i tend to overreact and make mountains
out of molehills and then get mad at people for thinking

yeah, and my apparent inability to avoid Netscrapes. *sigh*

WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? These days, to keep up with how the lives are
going of people I've known online.

really haven't bothered getting dressed up for the club or anything, I

cares.

I guess because I'm bored, mostly. Or to procrastinate. Three years ago I read
here for music things that never really appeared...now I don't. Ah, well.
>WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC:
*One* worst thing, uh huh...
1) People who take themselves too seriously.
2) The fact that things tend to cycle now more than they used to.
3) The Fluff Factor (TM). A little fluff is ok, 50 posts a day threads are
different. Especially when they're very cliquey.
>GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
>
>DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE):
I am the kind of goth who always feels underdressed because she spends her money
on CDs instead of clothes, and the one who gets upset when she doesn't know what
the DJ is playing because she KNOWS she has that CD and CAN'T IDENTIFY THE SONG.
And on occasion, I have been known to do a rather good impression of a mopey,
angsty, angry goth. This facet of my personality has been showing up a lot
lately.
>WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES:
I write bad poetry and stories. I guess that's my main hobby. Not that I've been
doing it lately.

If you know me, you understand those quotes. If not, I am too lazy to explain.
>WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS:
Loyalty. If you're not truly loyal to me, you're not truly my friend. I would
say that loyalty is a part of a larger aspect (maturity).
I recently found out how if people lack the combination of the two, they're not
worth the pain they cause you, because they tend not to care about what they're
doing to you.
>WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE POOL:
Egoism. When people think only of themselves, and do things that will only
benefit themsleves intentionally bad, bad things happen.

This is a *bad* time to be asking me this sort of question. I'm pretty fed
up with what alt.gothic has become lately.
>WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC?: Mostly, force of habit, silly sentimentality,
and lack of much else to do that isn't even worse. Plus the fact that I
occasionally still find a decent post, or run into a decent poster, and the
fact that the newsgroup still has a fair number of people left who I'd miss
if I didn't see them anymore.
Note, this is a far different reason than why I *used* to read alt.gothic.

In addition to the stuff I've posted above, what Oddly said above sort of
covers it for me. The turnover, and the gradual decline in the level of
meaningful, intelligent, or truly witty posts, and the sheer size of what
used to be a comfortable group are also things that really suck.
>GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
>
>DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): Post-Punk Wears Black,
80's style goth. Anyone who's not clear on what that means, well... bear in
mind that goth wasn't always about glitter, corsets, frilly lace'n'velvet
clothes, and swirly-girly-twirly music, and used to be a *lot* more closely
related to the punk scene that it originally grew out of.
>WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Finding alternate uses for lime, and the
crawl-space under the south-east part of my house.
Seriously, almost *nothing* thrills me these days, so *anything* that I
could think of sounds too trite, shallow, and meaningless, for me to bother

>WHAT¹S THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: "And this too shall pass."
>WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: Um, at the moment, I
think that I'm sort of with Oddly, on the "maturity" thing. Most of the
other traits that I value can b covered under that term, if you're willing
to go by my definition of it.

What Oddly said again. :)
>WHAT¹S IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: A wide array of useless
knowledge of all sorts of different subjects, that will pop up ant times
when no one really gives a damn.

now.

;)
>WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: My inability to cope better
with what I'm going through because of my illness.
>WHAT¹S ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: A smallish green and gold ceramic lamp, a clock
radio, a package of q-tips, an empty Swiss Miss box, a glow in the dark
squeaky rat that my gf gave me, two pens, an pair of scissors, a tube of
medication for my cat, two catalogs, (U.S. Cav., and some yuppie housewear
thing.) a tube of hydrocortisone I've been using on a spider bite I got
recently, a bottle of Cetiphil lotion, a couple of pieces of paper with
phone numbers, flight schedules, etc. written on them, a potpourri thingie
(An Xmas gift from the gf.) with a couple of jars of spices sitting around
it, (Ginger, mint, and a few others.) a copy of _The Lost World_ by Doyle,
and a copy of _The Star Beast_ by Heinlein, a phone, a tape measure, a
length of leather sting, a dirty plate, and a couple of water glasses, a
half-empty Gatorade bottle, a half empty bottle of safflower oil, a
hand-cuff key tied with a red ribbon, a yellow candle in an antique ceramic
candle holder, and empty box, a ziplock bag with nothing in it, a half
dissected envelope, a medication bottle, and a bottle each of melatoin,
licorice root, and almond oil.
I wouldn't have nearly this much stuff on my nightstand normally. However,
my nightstand is a big glass topped coffee table, and it's also about the
only convenient flat surface in my room.

First off let me say that I'm not back.

I happened to spin through ag tonight for the first time in quite a

ALT.GOTHIC/NET-RELATED QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: Nil
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your dick
question): A year and a half, though I've been away for over a month
now...
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS WERE YOUR FAVORITES? I always liked polls for
some odd reason. That and the personal thoughts of those of you whom I
consider friends.
WHY DID YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? I suppose I read ag because of the
wonderful people that posted there. I first came because it was a goth
ng and that appealed to me, then as I lurked and read I found so many
unique and interesting people here. So many different perspectives. So
many really nice people.
I love to meet new people.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: 3 things. 1) That the above
statement doesn't seem as true to me anymore :( 2) Massive influx of
fuckwits and people with nothing to say. 3) (and this is more true of
the net in general) It was helping to suck my spirit away...
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): Perky. I don't
really go in for the gloom and doom stuff; life's too short.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES:
Reading, writing, painting, socializing (not really a hobby I know, but
I do *so* enjoy it) and playing a few video games.
WHAT¹S THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: "Life...be in it"
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS:
That they be true to themselves, whoever that may be. I detest false
people. I also detest myself when I fall short of that ideal.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE
POOL: Small-mindedness.
WHAT¹S IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I've been doing accents
since I was 10 or so. Most people find it *really* irritating.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Same thing I'm doing
now, but with more money.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: I want my spirit back. I want what television and the 'net
stole from me.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: I'm tall...
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: That I have so little
patience.
WHAT¹S ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: A bunch of candles and a glow in the dark
figurine of the Archangel Michael.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION:
No. Not really. Why did I answer this poll maybe? I don't know...
Well, that's about it.
Take care all.
golab, who really did have some fun times here...

SIBLINGS: A little sister, who's in her teens. CHILDREN: Not a chance. Yet.

ALT.GOTHIC/NET-RELATED QUESTIONS:
>
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: I used to read alt.cyberpunk, but stopped.
I still read (but don't post) to a lot of myriad graphics newsgroups.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your dick
question): My dick is just fine, actually. But then, I don't care how long
I've been here. <laughs> Late 1997, or somewhereabouts.
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? Anything that stays interesting is
dandy by me!
WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? Because, like the time I ate too many shrooms and
went on a drive, it seemed like a good idea at the time. <wide grin> Because I
have too much free time, really.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: It's a net-related addiction. I have
too many of those already.
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): Accidental. Goth since
birth, just didn't have a title for it until my teenage years. But I'm also a
cyberpunk at heart, and love to wear 3-piece suits and swing dance. Call me
wacky.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Computer graphics, writing, causing havok at
work, and observing cities at large.
WHAT酬 THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Two, really... "If you think you know what the
hell is going on... you're probably full of shit." - Robert Anton Wilson. That
and "You can't stop here! This is bat country!" (Which is, of course, my
journalistic hero, Hunter S. Thompson...)
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: Be able to think clearly
and rationally, or die.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE POOL:
If I could totally wipe out dogmatic people, I'd be so happy... I hate how
people accept certain facts simply because they SEEM true. Question what you
know, and question what you don't at least twice.
WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I can use Hermetic/Cabbalistic
logic which pertains to the value of numbers, letters and the like. It's a
really moronic thing to be able to do.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Writing books that need to be
written, writing for some big metro newspaper. The latter of which may happen
later this year... I'm positive I'd be at the San Francisco Chronicle if I
could bloody commute.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: Mathematical skill.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: My writing ability. I can almost
guarantee my ability to out-write 99% of the nation. Can you see my ego
throb?
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: Lack of self-discipline.
WHAT酬 ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: Glasses, one with a week-old gin & tonic that was
way too strong, and didn't use Bombay Sapphire, a bunch of tape cases, my
pocketwatch, zip disks, CDs (Spahn Ranch's "Beat Noir", Squirrel Nut Zippers'
"Hot" and Steely Dan's "Countdown to Ecstacy".) And a Dilbert figurine.

__THE PHYSICAL__:
YOUR NAME: $teve Cheevers
YOUR ONLINE/NICKNAME: Charybdis26 or Jet Boy
WEB PAGE URL: There's nothing on it yet, despite my promises to find time.
AGE: 27
BIRTHDAY: 02/05/71
GENDER: Male
LOCATION: Sitting in our company server room, looking at two monitors and a
clockwork nun.
CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: Blonde, but dyed with temporary and fading red
highlights. Long, partway down my back, with a narrow braid at my left temple.
EYE COLOR: Brown or hazel, depending on the light.
RELIGION: I'm an atheist, thank God.
SIBLINGS: 2 brothers, one older, one younger, one younger sister.
CHILDREN: None. I'd prefer not to have kids until I'm married, TBH.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Not married, but in a relationship.
OCCUPATION: Network Administrator for a software development company.
PETS: None. Although I get along with other people's pets pretty well.
COMPUTER YOU鄗E ON: Dual processor Pentium Pro (my workstation) or PDC for one
of our domains.
ALT.GOTHIC/NET-RELATED QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: alt.gothic.fashion (sometimes) or
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your dick
question): Lurked since June 1996 or so, but posting (irregularly due to my
job) since summer 1998. I can't remember exactly when.
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? Almost anything where coherent
debate is going on.
WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? I've gotten turned onto various bands, gigs,
opinions (more different from mine the better), and the standard of discussion
even at its worst is still better than the dung I've seen in other
music/subculture related newsgroups I've read.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: Sometimes you really have to wade
through some crap to get to posts that are actually _about_ something.
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): One who likes glamrock
(as well as a lot of the goth default stuff), PVC, the eighties, having a
good time regardless, and giving the two fingers to anyone or anything that
tries to get me down. I think of Goth as a subculture revolving around music,
certain attitudes, flamboyancy, and having fun regardless. If I ever do
handstapleforehead it's self-deprecatory humour.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: Photography, writing. Clubgoing, but I don't
indulge in that too much these days.
WHAT酬 THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: Honesty. Without a doubt.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE POOL:
Lying. Also without a doubt.
WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I wrote what it used to be last
poll, but I don't think it qualifes anymore.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Independently wealthy, or
consulting for myself. Owning a house abroad for getting all reclusive.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: The ability to know when people are lying to me. I can _usually_
tell, but not always. And to my cost, sometimes not when I most need to.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: I'm honest and loyal to people I'm close
to.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: I'm a worrier. I sometimes
obsess about what I need to do instead of doing it.
WHAT酬 ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: I don't have one. Don't have a bed either. Or an
apartment (grin). I'm hunting currently. And no, I don't sleep rough.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: Nah. I can't think of one. I think I'll start
posting semi-regularly again. I've got time now, whereas I haven't really had
for a little while.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your dick
question): since August/Septemberish 1995
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? Witty ones....the rarest kind of all.
Sick to fucking death of flame wars...Alt.gothic Regular worhip.... and morons
answering trolls.
WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? strictly addiction. I tried to quit *sigh*
ciggerettes were easier...which is wierd cause I liked them more.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: Regulars who think they're above
netiquette.....who think they can do what they please (even if it's helping to
fuck up the news group), then have the gall to complain about others. Worship
or regulars by newbies. Same old boring threads being rehashed...oh wait...that
would be like this one. Never mind.
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): Apathetic. While I love
the scene for various reasons....I also don't give a shit about the part of it
that constantly puts on heirs. I don't think goths are better than
everyone....I don't think that normals have nothing to offer the world.... My
influences range from punk to chick rock......so uh....well maybe my t-shirt
says it best "Get the fuck away from me". I think I'm getting mopier with age.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: I'm a singer/song writer. I pretend to play
the piano and guitar (when my nails are short). Kick Boxing, shopping, just
got a belly dancing tape that kicks ass...so maybe that soon, watching movies,
going to clubs, trying new things with makeup (and usually not winding up
looking like the picture *sigh*).
WHAT1S THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Everything happens for a reason.
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: compassion and
honesty....sorry can't choose between the two.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE POOL:
Ignorance....about everything. I think it would end all
prejudices.....includeing my own (which i am well aware of).
WHAT1S IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: (i just tried oddly's 50 states
alphabetically in one breath...I can do it! woo!) Hrm....I can also put on lip
stick like Claire in the breakfast club....
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: I don't really know. I want
to be teaching, and maybe some success for my band...I want to be living near
my best friend... I want to be traveling on occasion. I just want to be
content....and doing something I love.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: Organization, and house keeping ability.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: My voice....and my empathic abilities.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: My hypochondria, and temper.
WHAT1S ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: a wire basket full of bills and papers i need, a
mirror, a tray full of nail polishes and nail polish remover, a box of kleenex,
a white lamp whose shade is full of clip on koalas, hanging bats, a witch bear,
my college graduation tassel, and a pride triangle i meant to give to my best
friend. An alarm clock. TV remote. VCR remote. Papers I meant to throw out.
A silver ring with a labadorite stone, a few tapes, a scrunchie.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: several.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF TO THE NETSCRAPE:
Winter 1999: aka was your new years resolution to fill this out each
season?
well ... since i didn't make any others ...
__THE PHYSICAL__:
YOUR NAME: c. m. lewis, just in case ya missed it when i revealed it
before ;)
YOUR ONLINE/NICKNAME: creepndeth / justin gregory case, the me
WEB PAGE URL: none that i care to share around as yet
AGE: 26
BIRTHDAY: 08/24/72
GENDER: Male
LOCATION: Columbus, OH; aka the Hole in the Heart of It All
CURRENT HAIRCOLOR/STYLE: short and rather spiky when the Big Black
Ballcap isn't doing funky things to it, or when longer, a kind of Pomade
Pompador (rare, now); light brown, with a few Grays trying to invade
EYE COLOR: that universal gray-green-blue
RELIGION: i'm the only Jewthilic Southern Baptist i've ever met, which
means i've formed my own theories, TYVM. i have my own code and faith,
and i think organized religion is basically a big circle-jerk. like as
not, my god is not god.
SIBLINGS: the one's i've adopted and have been adopted by over the
years are Legion. they are everywhere. phear. :P by blood: 1 brother,
deceased; 3 sisters, 23, 9 and 7, scatterd here and there.
CHILDREN: that's a lie.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: single. for now, me and my attitude are acting
the part of a really cute couple.
PETS: 5. the Roomie Ones: Fanboy, the EvilLordByron and the slightly
*more* sinsiter Mrs. EvilLordByron. the Lembertity: brother cats,
Lemmy Motorhead and Albert Cosby, yellow mackerel and gray mackerel
respectively. they are really only one cat, but they're as much a
walking MPD as me. ;)
COMPUTER YOU¹RE ON: erm ... presently, this WebTV construct. soon, a
Frankenstein's Creation thing that i "convinced" my uncle to build for
me. at work, G3 mini with a woppin' 22" viewable (i think) screen. *no
one* needs this much screen, but it sure is priddy.
ALT.GOTHIC/NET-RELATED QUESTIONS:
WHAT OTHER NEWSGROUPS DO YOU READ: alt.binaries.gothic and
alt.gothic.pretentions (lurk in both), rec.music (various, lurking),
alt.discuss.gothic.lifestyle (mostly lurk 'cause their trolls are *real*
friggin' lame), and anything else that catches my interest for more than
a second.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your dick
question): that's a rather personal question, don't ya think? ;P
lurking since late summer / early fall of '97. the exact date escapes
me. posting since somewhere around November '98. me? shy?
geddoudahere ...
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? no particular favorites,
though i generally stay away from / out of the socio-political ones.
i'm more interested with how people think and feel on the inside than
what they declaim to the world. so, flame threads can be suprisingly
insightful--as much as the fluff / sex threads, if you read them
correctly. ;)
WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? mostly because i feel at home here. moreso
than in other NGs. and because i never sleep. i think i've been awake
since somewhere around 1985.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: people who *think* they have
something to say, when it's obvious they're stroking an ego. some have
every right to, and some just prove they're as moronic as you thought.
me? i _know_ i don't have much to say. the difference is _i_know_.
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): i come from the
punkier end of goth, and i've also been listening to goth-ish music
since i was 12 or so, thus, i guess i'm the perky-mopey hybrid. but i'd
have to say, as a defining term, i am the Hockeygoth. ;)
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: music--writing, listening, playing;
writing and self-publishing my own more-than-a-zine; strapping on my
blades and cutting a few lines in the ice; annoying the ever-livin' shit
outta people (just to keep 'em honest. heh. no, rilly.); flatscan
(de)Bating; reading f/sf/wierd tales/horror, ect. sketching;
graphics/Photoshop; and several things that have me branded as an
adrenaline junkie.
WHAT¹S THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Fight Till You Die.
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: blunt sincerity
and honesty.
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE
POOL: arrogance. you're not that fucking special if you actually think
you are.
WHAT¹S IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: i do a pretty mean Glen
Danzig. and i seem to have this knack for dying and coming back ...
literally.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: working under the basic
concept that our births are our deaths begun, i want to be dying. well.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED YOU
POSSESSED: i wish i could get to the point quicker than i usually do.
:/ and i want my "singing" voice back. *crash mope*
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: i listen very well with my one
good ear. :) people aren't often aware that i've managed to get them to

I don't think the straight boy's would particularly mind the fact that your

Then again maybe the more socially adept people you try to date the less
they are going to be like this. (That being said I've never manged to
maintain a relationship with a straight girl.) *sigh* the problem I got is
that women don't seem to want to watch to Men together. ;)

>> WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC?
Never happen(1).
ALF are too Euro(2) and not dancable enough(3).
(1)... well this week
(2) Look at the US Playlists... CoS? Nary a bite.
Horatti? MIA. Nekromantik? *sob* Can it be true?
And these are the Perky bands.
Americans like their own dour stuff - Last Dance, Prophetess, The Shroud, what
have you.
I've been paying attention to playlists here and in upg lately (the
AUStriolapitogoths are too damn lazy to even get them together), and the
playlists are very different, even once you remove SLS from the equation.
I'll tell you what: there's one playlist I saw on one newsgroup (no names)
that showed all the imagination of a Top 40 countdown.
(3) This coming from a non-dancer. Ask me again in about four weeks when I can
make a more educated statement.

Possibly, but I think it still ties back to the people living on that land. I
don't have the exact UN definitions of war crimes and genocide committed to
memory, but I can imagine them being stretched to cover the destruction of
farmland (claiming it as an attempt to starve) or the contaminating of water,
etc.
I forgot the name of the article (something about reaching a shared definition
of genocide) by Israel Charny that goes to all sorts of extremes, including
environmental destruction...

In the Boston area, I've heard it referred to as 'gleecking'. A friend of mine
was (and presumably is) still rpetty good at it. I remember him 'gleecking'
into a teacher's coffee mug years back, and idiotically and childishly (so as
not to be outdone) pouring a handful of staples into the mug.
Thankfully (esp. once I came to my sense a second or two after) the coffe was
cold and he didn't touch it.

to several groups, including Sci-Fi and vampire related ones, but only
have time usually for Alt.Gothic)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN READING ALT.GOTHIC (aka the "how big is your
dick question): Since May 1997.
WHAT TYPES OF THREADS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? Sex and Fluff threads of
course! Actually I read all of them, I just can't put in words,
thoughts and opinions on several other threads. There always seems to
be someone more articulate with the same opinion I have, so I just let
it float without trying to muddy the waters in my own garbled way.
WHY DO YOU READ ALT.GOTHIC? Because of the people who post here and the
fact that I can always find something inspiring, interesting, funny, or
heartbreaking to lift me out of my numbness and the dark, cold pit that
had become my home for the last 13 years. Here is where I found the
courage to open my heart again. Here I found the inspiration to step
outside and look at the world, to see that it wasn't going down into the
oblivion of coldness and hate. Thank you.
WHAT IS THE WORST THING ABOUT ALT.GOTHIC: Flame Wars and Nit-Picking
(spam sucks too...)
GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE:
DESCRIBE THE KIND OF GOTH YOU ARE (briefly PLEASE): HA!! Goth? Me?
Not bloody likely...
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES: MUSIC!!!! All kinds of music, Travel - I
am a gypsy at heart, Reading, Puzzles, Computer and Video Games - Zelda
Forever! I like board and card games too.
WHAT酬 THE MOTTO YOU ADHERE TO: Anything goes until it touches someone
else, then I let "Take Responsibility For All I Do and Say" and "Do No
Harm" be my guide.
WHAT IS THE ONE TRAIT YOU APPRECIATE MOST IN OTHERS: Open Mindedness and
a Sense of Humor. The two become one? ;-}
WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU WISH COULD BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE GENE
POOL: Lack of self-respect and not taking responsibility for one's own
life and the effect on others. Not farting at inconvenient times would
be good too.
WHAT酬 IS YOUR PERSONAL STUPID HUMAN TRICK: I spawned. Sorry! It
won't happen again.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE DOING 10 YEARS FROM NOW: Wow! That's too far
ahead for me to see. I would like to be able to travel the world with
enough financial resources or skills to be able to stay anywhere that
inspires further investigation.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING/SKILL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE NOW THAT YOU WISHED
YOU POSSESSED: Thing? Inexhaustible Financial Resources. Skill? The
ability to make all software work together without crashing.. Peace on a
PC. Talent? To be able to sing, compose, play an instrument, write,
draw, paint, create... To be something other than the audience.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST ASSET: I never give up.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE WORST THING ABOUT YOU: I never give up? I'm
stubborn. I don't like to be given 'advice' and will usually do the
opposite. Contrary. My childhood specialty.
WHAT酬 ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: You mean the box by the bed that is still in
the closet? An alarm clock, CD player w/headphones, flashlight, candle,
puffs, bottle of ephedrine for that "Just can't wake up" feeling, and a
big mug of water.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: Did you really read this far? Ok then,
what does one do with a degree in BMIS when one HATES business? Oh!
Did you mean another question to add to the next Netscrape? How
about... Where on the planet do you wish you were right now? (I'm
thinking Cruise Ship in a nice Warm Climate...)

Er, okay. Here is how *I* do it, and I was taught by the
master in 8th grade:
Lift your tongue upwards, curl it inwards.
The roof of my mouth has a slight hump to it. Yours may
not. I don't spend a lot of time inspecting the roofs of
people's mouths. But I press my tongue firmly to the
forward-most side of that hump.
Then I "flex" the bottom of my tongue, the "root" if
you will, and.. *squirt*.
I find it works even better if I have a sip of something
citrusy beforehand, or even a piece of hard candy. Anything
that gets saliva flowing. Minty gum would work too.
You have to practice this. It took me a few months.

You should have been at Absolution in NYC last Friday.
One of the DJ's played the most stereotypical and fucking annoying set I have

Concrete Blond, Bauhaus, Dead Can Dance, Etc.

I dance sometimes but not to goth. I am a cue whore, and pick the ones up in
industrial music very easily, whereas in goth they tend to be more annoying
because instruments aren't pulled in the same way.
Oh yeah, I usually don't like the beats, either. Ah'm not swirly, sorry.

Oklahoma isn't so bad. Just got back from visiting my mother (she moved down
there a few years back). A refreshing break from the city, lots of
sky...although it's a kinda sad place. At least around Harrah/Midwest City -
looks dated, but still modern. Sort as if the mid-60's were its 'golden days'.
You can see it in the signs and storefronts.
Or maybe it's just me...*shrug* Either way, it's really nice down there - not
too sure if I'd want to stay down there. The people are nice enough, but their
kids seem pretty stupid (at least the few that I've met).
I did have a girl ask me how far I could spit (it turns out she wanted me to
spit on someone)...

Sounds better than some of the Perth stuff. No criticism of venues (past,
present or future), but not one has ever (to my knowledge) played DCD. I'd say
you take a goth-oriented playlist from now, and one from 5 years ago, they'd
be almost identical (70%).
The only changes would be *which* Sisters, Bauhaus, DM song they'd play.

That's largely because its easier to create listenable industrial music than
good goth.
Industrial is largely aimed at the dance floor - less so of traditional goth.
Random Industrial can be mass produced.
Random goth ends up sounding like the Sisters.
